What is recorded here
Forty metres south-west of its better-known neighbour, a collapsed ring of edge-set slabs crouches in boggier ground beneath the same rock outcrop. One radial slab still marks the southern entrance, preserving the shape of a doorway though the wall itself has surrendered to the wet earth. The smaller, poorer site suggests human adaptability rather than ambition: when the good land filled, they moved slightly aside and built again.
This enclosure was reported to the Archaeological Survey of Ireland by Tony Miller on 28th January 2013. He describes it as follows: "This enclosure is c. 40m to the south-west of the previous enclosure recorded (CO093-099----). It has a similar aspect but is sited in poorer, boggier land and is also just south of the same rock outcrop. It is a sub-circular enclosure measuring c. 11m east-west and c. 9m north-south. The perimeter wall was constructed mainly out of contiguous slabs set on edge which are all collapsed. To the south one slab is set radially and probably marks the entrance. No internal features visible."
